You're a braver man than I'll ever hope to be, Doug! I'd be too afraid that the kid would hurl its cookies to let it in my car. (They do that a lot, you know.)

Yeah I know have three of the little buggers one lives in Hackettstown NJ he's five. The other two just move eleven miles closer so they are now 17 miles from me, makes ie easier when they are sick and I have to baby sit at 71 this is better than raising mine I get to play and not work.

If you keep the car long enough, wait until they ask for the keys.

I just picked up my 2015 DSOM vert Friday and had my nieces and nephews all over in my car. I have a 7 year old boy and a 4 year old girl so kids don't bother me. Nephew is 9, Nieces 9, 8, and 22 months. The 22 month old was having a great time playing with the steering wheel. I took my 9 year old nephew for a ride, and he told me that he is getting a car like this when he gets older. I told him that as long as he keeps getting good grades and goes to college that he can buy one. I have college funds set up for all of the nieces, nephews, and my kids so am helping a little bit with the college thing. I want to start them on a quest to buy a C9 when they are older

Shouldn't their parents be the ones setting up the college funds? Great that you are doing that but I'm just saying.....
